Mr. Merkel

Together with some mates often went to the Round House in Dagenham saw ELO, Leo Sayer, Crazy world of Arthur Brown and many others just a £1 to get in, how times have changed.

Again thank you for your replies, very interesting.

Hello Marsh man, yes I'am going back a lot of years but I pretty sure the turtle soup was phased out to mock turtle when the turtles became protected.

Hi, John Lusty turtle soup, many years ago I worked as a ships chandler we sold cases of the stuff to the cruise ships. Lusty had a factory in Limehouse in the East End of London where they kept live turtles to make the soup, all part of history now.

Hi Alan, yes I shot at the flushes and your shoot off watery lane, nice to see you back. Hope all is good with you. Tim H

Yes very broken

In the good ole days, common assault was a bind over to keep the peace and a £10 fine, done on the day of conviction so no more court time was taken up, I fail to see why they have to put off sentencing when he's been on remand long enough for enquiries.

I wonder why the sentence isn't mentioned

I would like to think there is more to this than what is being reported, to sack a 27 years service Inspector with no loss of rank option and bar him from working within law enforcement ( no references) seems pretty harsh. Lets see if he appeals .

Thanks gents for all the replies. All the best Tim

Thank you for that.

Thanks gents, you have confirmed my thoughts I will stick with my distance.

Afternoon all, I normally wear varifocal specs for my everyday use and distance specs for driving and clay shooting, the opticians today suggested that as I wear varifocal for my everyday use I should continue to wear them for shooting as my eyes and brain were used to them. In particular a pair that have with polarised lens that I use when fishing. This goes against all the previous advice that I have been told about shooting glasses, does any person on pigeon watch shoot with varifocal glasses without issues or problems and hit what they are shooting at. Thanks in advance Tim

Speedy recovery and get well soon.
